- the conductive base electrode and the conductive porous electrode have a sheet resistance of less than about 10 7 ohms/square.
- Suitable conductive materials include for example aluminum, nickel, titanium, tin, indium-tin oxide, gold, silver, platinum, palladium, copper, chromium, and combinations thereof.

- the sorbent material can be any dielectric material (e.g., inorganic or organic) that is microporous and is capable of absorbing at least one analyte vapor within its interior.
- dielectric material e.g., inorganic or organic
- microporous and microporosity mean that the material has a significant amount of internal, interconnected pore volume, with the mean pore size (as characterized, for example, by sorption isotherm procedures) being less than about 100 nanometers (nm), typically less than about 10 nm.
- Such microporosity provides that molecules of vapor to be analyze (i.e., analyte) will be able to penetrate the internal pore volume of the material and take up residence in the internal pores.
- the presence of such analyte in the internal pores can alter the dielectric properties of the material such that a change in the dielectric constant (or any other suitable electrical property) can be observed.
- sorbent material will generally depend on the vapor to be analyzed. For example, if humidity (water vapor) is to be determined then a sorbent material comprising a hygroscopic material such as, for example, a sulfonated fluoropolymer may be advantageously used.
- a sorbent material comprising a so-called polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIM) may be useful.
- PIMs are polymeric materials with nanometer-scale pores due to inefficient packing of the polymer chains.
- Budd et al. report a series of intrinsically microporous materials containing dibenzodioxane linkages between rigid and/or contorted monomeric building blocks (i.e., monomeric units).
- Representative members of this family of polymers include those generated by condensation of Component A (e.g., A1, A2, or A3) with Component B (e.g., B1, B2, or B3) as shown in Table 1 according to Scheme 1. TABLE 1 COMPONENT A COMPONENT B
- Such polymers can be synthesized, for example, by a step-growth polymerization where a bis-catechol such as, e.g., A1 (5,5',6,6'-tetrahydroxy-3,3,3',3'-tetramethyl-1,1'-spirobisindane) is allowed to react with a fluorinated arene such as, e.g., B1 (tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile) under basic conditions. Due to the rigidity and contorted nature of the backbone of the resulting polymers, these polymers are unable to pack tightly in the solid state and thus have at least 10 percent free volume and are intrinsically microporous.
- a bis-catechol such as, e.g., A1 (5,5',6,6'-tetrahydroxy-3,3,3',3'-tetramethyl-1,1'-spirobisindane)
- a fluorinated arene such as, e.g., B1 (t
- PIMs may be blended with other materials.
- a PIM may be blended with a material that itself is not an absorptive dielectric material. Even though not contributing to an analyte vapor response, such a material may be useful for other reasons. For example, such a material may allow the formation of a PIM-containing layer which has superior mechanical properties and the like.
- PIMs may be dissolved in a common solvent with the other material to form a homogeneous solution, which may be cast to form an absorptive dielectric blend layer comprising both the PIM and the other polymer(s).
- PIMs may also be blended with a material that is an absorptive dielectric material (for example, zeolites, activated carbon, silica gel, hyper-crosslinked polymer networks and the like).
- a material that is an absorptive dielectric material for example, zeolites, activated carbon, silica gel, hyper-crosslinked polymer networks and the like.
- Such materials may comprise insoluble materials that are suspended in a solution comprising of a PIMs material. Coating and drying of such a solution/suspension may provide a composite absorptive dielectric layer comprising both the PIM material and the additional absorptive dielectric material.
- PIMs are typically soluble in organic solvents such as, for example, tetrahydrofuran, and can thus be cast as films from solution (e.g., by spin-coating, dip coating, or bar coating).
- characteristics accessible thicknesses, optical clarity, and/or appearance
- films made from solutions of these polymers may vary markedly depending on the solvent or solvent system used to cast the film.
- intrinsically microporous polymers of higher molecular weights may need to be cast from relatively unusual solvents (e.g., cyclohexene oxide, chlorobenzene, or tetrahydropyran) to generate films with desirable properties for use in vapor sensors as described herein.
- the detection layer may be applied to the conductive base electrode by any other suitable method.
- the material may be crosslinked using a suitable crosslinking agent such as, for example, bis(benzonitrile)palladium(II) dichloride.
- a suitable crosslinking agent such as, for example, bis(benzonitrile)palladium(II) dichloride. This process may render the absorptive dielectric layer insoluble in organic solvents, and/or may enhance certain physical properties such as durability, abrasion resistance, etc., which may be desirable in certain applications.
- PIMs may be hydrophobic so that they will not absorb liquid water to an extent that the material swells significantly or otherwise exhibits a significant change in a physical property. Such hydrophobic properties are useful in providing an organic analyte vapor sensor element that is relatively insensitive to the presence of water.
- the material may however comprise relatively polar moieties for specific purposes.
- the detection layer is preferably hydrophilic.
- the detection layer may comprise a copolymer having monomeric units comprising wherein M represents H (i.e., hydrogen) or an alkali metal (e.g., lithium, sodium, or potassium).
- the copolymer may be a random copolymer having a segment represented by the stoichiometric formula wherein m and n are positive integers (i.e., 1, 2, 3, etc.), and M is as previously defined.
- Other pendant groups such as, for example, perfluoroalkyl groups or perfluoroalkoxyl groups may also be present.
- substantially no (e.g., less than 5 mole percent of) other pendant groups are present in the copolymer; and more typically, no other pendant groups are present.
- Vinylidene fluoride may also be used as a monomer.
- Polymerization can be accomplished by any suitable method, including aqueous emulsion polymerization.
- the copolymer typically may have a sulfonate equivalent weight (i.e., the weight of the copolymer having one -SO 3 M group) of at least 500 grams per sulfonate equivalent, more typically at least 650 grams per sulfonate equivalent, and more typically at least 750 grams per sulfonate equivalent.
- the copolymer typically has a sulfonate equivalent weight of less than 1200 grams per sulfonate equivalent, more typically less than 1100 grams per sulfonate equivalent, or even less than or equal to 1000 grams per sulfonate equivalent. In some embodiments, the copolymer has a sulfonate equivalent weight in a range of from 500 to 1000 grams per sulfonate equivalent.
- copolymers examples include those available under the trade designation 3M PERFLUOROSULFONIC ACID IONOMER from 3M Company, Saint Paul, Minnesota.
- the detection layer may be deposited (for example, on the conductive electrode) by any suitable technique. Casting out of solvent or water, followed by heating to dry and optionally anneal the detection layer is typically an effective method. If desired, a fluorosulfonylated copolymer precursor may be cast out of solvent followed by hydrolysis, as discussed above.
- the detection layer may have any thickness, but typically is in a range of from about 100 nanometers (nm) to 1 millimeter. More typically, the detection layer has a thickness in a range of from 500 to 10000 nm, or even from 700 to 3500 nm.
- the detection layer may contain one or more additional components such as, for example, colorants, residual organic solvent, fillers, and/or plasticizers.
- the dielectric microporous material may comprise a continuous matrix.
- a continuous matrix is defined as an assembly (e.g., a coating, layer, etc.) in which the solid portion of the material is continuously interconnected (irrespective of the presence of porosity as described above, or of the presence of optional additives as discussed below). That is, a continuous matrix is distinguishable from an assembly that comprises an aggregation of particles (e.g., zeolites, activated carbons, or carbon nanotubes).
- a layer or coating deposited from a solution will typically comprise a continuous matrix (even if the coating itself is applied in a patterned manner and/or comprises particulate additives).
- a collection of particles deposited via powder spraying, coating and drying of a dispersion (e.g., a latex), or by coating and drying of a sol-gel mixture, may not comprise a continuous network. However, if such a latex, sol-gel, etc., layer can be consolidated such that individual particles are no longer discernible, nor is it possible to discern areas of the assembly that were obtained from different particles, such a layer may then be considered to be a continuous matrix.
